You've heard of elf on the shelf... get ready for Christmas in the Caribbean!

Beaches Resorts is kicking off the festive season with a dose of mischief, teaming up with the creators of The Elf on the Shelf and bringing Very Important Elf (V.I.E.) perks to its properties across the Caribbean. 

Families indulging in butler-level rooms at any of the three resorts during December and bringing along their Scout Elf for the festive fun will enjoy the V.I.E. perks, including moonlight milk & cookies, marshmallow bubble baths, festival trail mix and a festive movie night-in.

Weekly Christmas parties invite guests to take part in festive activities involving Elf on the Shelf characters, from arts and crafts stations to Christmas storytelling, festive karaoke and cookie-bar making. 

Luisana Suegart, the PR director for Unique Vacations, Inc., brought the cheer: "The festive season is for family memory-making and for many, The Elf on the Shelf brand has become a most loved and anticipated part of their annual traditions."

Guests can also volunteer to hand-craft Christmas cards for local children as part of the Sandals Foundation's not-for-profit philanthropy.
